Black Friday

Right now I’m researching for a story I’m helping with for WLWT Channel 5 tonight with Michelle Hopkins.  (I love her!  She is as nice in person as she appears on tv!)  I’m finding a few good Black Friday deals–mostly at Target and Walmart–which we’ll talk about tonight in the story.

Anyway, while looking, I’m coming across some decent deals that are going on right now.  I’m going to cut and paste them as I find them.

My first tip is that anything Target has on sale Friday is eligible for a price adjustment.  Meaning, you can purchase it today for full price and take your receipt in on Friday and get your money back!  This saves so much hassle in making sure you’re the right place at the right time!

Okay, I see on Target’s website that they have Monopoly the Disney Pixar edition on clearance for $7.99.  This is a GREAT deal if you have younger ones who love Pixar movies like Nemo, Cars, the Incredibles or Ratatouille, to name a few.  The game pieces are their favorite characters, (I love being Buzz Lightyear!) the spaces are bits from the movie.  Also, we have the normal Monopoly at home, and the Pixar one–and the Pixar one uses more realistic amounts of money, making it easier for younger heads to understand money and play the game.  The difference between 5 million and 500 dollars is huge!  If you can happen to find it at the store–there’s a $5 off 1 Monopoly game coupon in the Toy Catalog, available at Afullcup.com or in stores in the toy department!  Hurry the Toy q’s expire 11/26!

Also, on Cyber Monday (or any other online shopping you’re doing) don’t forget to use Ebates!  Ebates will give you a $10 bonus for signing up, and they’ll give your money back on purchases you’re already making!  I just got a check for $68 from Ebates last week!

–Right now Office Max has a 22″ LCD monitor for $150, shipped!  Great deal! And if you use Ebates, you’ll get a 4% rebate!

–Meijer will have Gallon milk for .99 on Thanksgiving!!!  Woohoo!!  Clean out the freezers and STOCK UP!–I’m reading this on a message board but have no confirmation, so double check before you go.  Lots of BOGO and .99 items on Thursday!

    You may want to call your Target about this, in previous years this has not been the case, since ads are leaked online most stores do not allow this. I called several Targets today and they said NO, they are not price adjusting black friday prices, normally they do but not for black friday sales.

    I was just in Target a little while ago. Its not a Black Friday ‘doorbuster’ ad–its a two day sale. They did it last year and in years past. last year I got $95 back when I went in for a Price Adjustment. All you have to do is walk in and hand them the receipt, they will scan it and the register will do the rest. It doesn’t matter that it happens on black friday–its a part of the standard 14 day Price Adjustment guarantee.

    By the way, you’re correct that most stores do not allow this–Target is one of the few exceptions, and its only b/c its not a Black Friday ad per se.

    Staci, you scared me! I spoke with the corporate office, and the mgr at my store, and both said that anything you buy within 14 days is eligible for a price adjustment.

    Hint–look at the tops of the shelves–those items stacked high? Those are the BF specials!

    LMKIA…I called like 4 stores all of them told me no. You know how managers are though, half the time they have no idea! It just kind of sucks because I love the lines and waiting, the cold, etc. that goes with black friday. So I hope they aren’t out of what I want because people are gonna buy it before friday! I usually go out about 3 am! Thanks for checking, I just don’t want anyone mad when their stores won’t give the adjustment.

    Staci, I spoke to the mgrs at Florence and Western Hills (Scotty and Todd, respectively) who both said that they would be price adjusting. Todd told me no directives had come down from corporate to not price adjust, so he will be PA’ing as usual. We’d had an employee up front tell people they wouldn’t be PA’ing, but Todd said they were misinformed and he would correct it.

    Most stores don’t Price Adjust or Price Match, but Target has done it for several years.
